That’s why I like watching Pakistan play
When Abdullah Shafiq dropped the catch of Mitchell Marsh, he was playing after scoring 20 runs.

Although Marsh missed completing his century by just 4 runs, he hit 13 fours during his 96-run innings. Apart from this, Steve Smith also returned to the pavilion after completing his half-century.
